Abstract: This study addresses challenges in traditional supply chains by advocating a shift towards intelligent, resilient systems. It emphasises integrating the internet of things (IoT) into supply chain management, proposing a secure infrastructure connecting data, goods, and all supply chain activities. In smart cities, aligning with urban modernisation goals, these efforts optimise business practices. The research explores agile technological methods for developing IoT solutions in sustainable urban environments, aiming for a platform that supports rapid expansion and addresses economic, social, cultural, and transportation challenges. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study anticipates transformative changes in smart cities due to rapid urbanisation. It investigates the impact of lean supply chains (LSC) on smart cities, presenting model-based solutions. Isfahan serves as a case study, revealing the benefits of integrating LSC within the smart city framework. This research contributes to innovative urban solutions, emphasising the convergence of LSC and IoT for sustainable, resilient cities.
